Gonzales is more conservative than he gets credit for being at this forum. He vetted all of the judicial candidates that Bush appointed and nobody seems to have a problem with them. He could have blocked the conservative ones that the Democrats screamed about, but he didn't. He recommended them.

Having said that, it's undeniable that the rightwing has villified him and that he'd be an unpopular choice here. I'd rather Bush pick someone that we can all support.

Gonzales seems to be an O'Connor-type -- sometimes conservative, searching for compromise. I'd trade him for Ginsburg, that's for sure.

With the power the court has taken onto itself, we don't need another Souter.

I at one time thought Gonzales would be a pick by the President but today factions have totally decimated him to the point he'll not be a pick, imo. Unless, it is one that occurs late in his last two years or so of his Presidency.
